Workshop: Playing with Colour

10:30am, Sat 10 May 2025

Expand your understanding of colour photography in this weekend workshop led by photographer Quetzal Maucci

Inspired by Peter Mitchell’s pioneering use of colour, this workshop will explore how colour shapes mood, meaning and composition in photographic storytelling. Through hands-on activities, discussion and case studies, we will analyse the use of colour in photography, discovering how it can enhance emotional, as well as visual, impact. 

Topics such as visual literacy and colour theory will support the refinement of skills and style, providing new perspectives and practical techniques to enhance your photography. 

This course is designed for emerging and established photographers, artists and visual storytellers. All participants are requested to bring a camera (DSLR, mirrorless, or smartphone) and a notebook. 

Led by Quetzal Maucci.
